Be very careful. Drinking on Librium isn't recommended, it's ok on Bac but the side effects you are scared of will be a lot worse if you are drinking. Some have experienced benefits from Bac sooner by not drinking. You have the librium there for withdrawls, something a lot of Drs won't give out especially if they know you drink on it. Librium also won't take away cravings, it will simply help you with the physical side effects if you decide to go AF.

My advice - and please wait for others to chip in since a few have been saying I give out the wrong information, is to try and abstain, use the librium to help with the physical sides and gradually build up your Baclofen doseage. Some would say 10mg x 3 is a lot to start on. Many go for 5mg x 3 then go up slowly over a number of weeks, and months(again feel free to correct in case I'm not giving the right info). You may find your cravings are reduced at quite a low dose such as 50-100mg per day. Others need to go up to several hundred mg. Read the information here, and go back to your Dr with the doseage recommendations so you can build a proper plan since it appears he's not aware of the protocols either.

Whatever you do please don't continue to drink on Librium, it won't help and can be dangerous. It's known to cause depressed respiration(breathing) and I'm also not sure what happens when combined with Bac because I'm sure I read somewhere that bac can cause breathlessness?

So yes good for you in taking this step, but please don't do anything daft and try and keep your Dr onside. He sounds as if he would be a great help - but you need to help yourself too.

taw

are you still drinking in the evening?

If so I'd recommend stopping. I didn't experience nausea until yesterday when I'd had a bac plus alcohol binge. Prior to that I'd been using Bac PRN, but got desperate when I was about to drink again. Ramped my dose up massively and still ended up drinking on it. Spent a lot of time throwing up yesterday. I'd recommend either reducing the dose, or removing the AL. The latter may find you at your switch sooner than later.

Ps I know I've been doing things wrong, it's the way I am but at least by sharing I might be able to help others via my experience.

I would just go down on the dose, especially if you feel "stoned" and working. You can take anti-emetics, but anything over-the-counter will be sedating, which is not good on BAC, and prob. won't do you any good at work.

I took 60 mg. yesterday and had mild nausea, unfortunately with a huge craving for food at the same time. Worse was that I was totally stoned - subjectively and objectively. I dropped back to 40 mg and the nausea is gone, but the mental changes are still there.

The "stoned" feeling is actually pleasant, but obviously not something I can carry to work, so I hope it goes away by this weekend. In the meantime I won't be driving anywhere, just spending way too much time on the computer.

Actual ginger helps me when nothing else will. It's strong (duh!), but get a piece of ginger root from the produce dept. at your grocery store. Peel the dark skin off, then cut off a small chunk and chew on it. Just keep chewing until it's all gone. It's really intense at first, but you do get used to it. I went through a really rough period a few months back when I was nauseous for like 3 days straight, so if I had to go anywhere, I would take a few slices of ginger in a plastic bag in my purse.
There was one night that I was in so much pain from the nausea (and for whatever reason, I absolutely couldn't throw up), that I couldn't sleep. Any movement made it worse. That was when I resorted to chewing on a piece of ginger and within minutes I was able to stretch out with relief and sleep through the night. That made me a believer.

Another option (you can also do it in addition to, if chewing the ginger pieces isn't always possible or if you just need a break from it), is to buy ginger tea. The Yogi brand is a really good one. At least you can sweeten the tea!

Give it a try. Hopefully it will help! It's definitely more effective than ginger ale!

Thanks Is...I will try that! This is worse than when I was pregnant! And if I keep this up everyone will think I am! Which I am not...not even close! I don't want to go back down...I want to keep going up...this is just a speed bump...

Have you experimented with taking the bac with/without food? Some people have reported terrible nausea from taking bac on an empty stomach, which was alleviated by taking bac with a meal.
